Cyproheptadine, USP

Cyproheptadine, USP

Cyproheptadine, USP, is a first-generation antihistamine medication used primarily to relieve allergy symptoms such as hay fever, urticaria (hives), and other allergic conditions. It functions by antagonizing histamine H1-receptors, thereby reducing allergic responses. Additionally, Cyproheptadine has anticholinergic and antiserotonergic properties, which contribute to its effects on appetite stimulation and migraine prevention. It is available in various formulations, including tablets, syrup, and injections, and is prescribed under medical supervision to manage allergic and other related conditions.
